5th and 6th Graders Ski Free in Idaho
If you have a 5th or 6th grader who loves to ski or snowboard or one who’d like to learn, you’ll want to take advantage of the free skiing program offered by the Idaho Ski Areas Association, a.k.a. Ski Idaho. The Idaho Peak Season Passport lets 5th and 6th graders ski or board 18 mountains for only 18 bucks. The program allows 5th graders to ride three days for free at all 18 Gem State ski resorts and offers 6th graders two days free at 17 mountains. It is open to any child from any state or country -- NOT just Idaho kids. Complete the application available online at skiidaho.us/passports and pay an $18 processing fee to order a passport for your child. Ski Idaho will email you a passport you can print out prior to hitting the slopes or pull up on your smartphone when you walk up to the ticket window. Your child must have a parent or guardian present to use the passport, and it must be shown at the resort in order to receive the lift ticket. Participating resorts include: * Bald Mountain * Bogus Basin * Brundage * Cottonwood Butte * Grand Targhee * Kelly Canyon * Little Ski Hill * Lookout Pass * Lost Trail * Magic Mountain * Pebble Creek * Pomerelle (5th grade only) * Schweitzer * Silver Mountain * Snowhaven * Soldier Mountain * Sun Valley * Tamarack “The family friendly reputation of Idaho ski resorts is well deserved,” Brundage Mountain Co. president and Idaho Ski Areas Association board chair Bob Looper says. “Our incredible, uncrowded terrain offers some of the most spectacular skiing and snowboarding on the planet regardless of your age and ability, and our Idaho Peak Season Passport makes it a lot easier for families to take advantage of our good wintertime fortune.” Participating ski hills reserve the right to limit passport use for ski racers, on race days, and on any scheduled blackout dates that may apply. Visit skiidaho.us/passport-blackout for a list of scheduled blackout dates, and check with your ski hill for full details. Looper suggests Idaho-based skiers and riders also consider purchasing the Ski Idaho specialty license plate for their vehicles since that program helps fuel the Idaho Peak Season Passport. “Nearly half of Ski Idaho’s funding -- about 45 percent -- comes from our license plate program,” he says. “It’s our biggest source of income and... continued on page 6...

Guardians Wanted for Needy Adults
The County Commissioners of Gooding, Jerome and Lincoln recently came together to form a tri-county Board of Community Guardians to assistance adult citizens who are no longer able to care for themselves. Sometimes individuals in our communities can not provide for their basic needs such as food, clothing, health care and safety due to the inability to make responsible decisions. This may be because of mental or physical problems. When this happens, a guardian may be appointed to make decisions for individuals who have been deemed legally incompetent. The preferred guardian is a relative, however when a person has no relative or significant person who is interested in becoming their guardian, the Board of Community Guardians functions as the guardian of last resort. The role of community guardians is to ensure that vulnerable adults are protected from exploitation, abuse and neglect. Compassionate people are being sought to serve as volunteers on a board that helps individuals unable to advocate for themselves. Anyone interested in volunteering for the Board of Community Guardians or if you have concerns about someone who may need a guardian, please contact the Program Coordinator, Cody Cantrell, at 208-644-2708. The Tri-County Community Guardians office is located at 300 North Lincoln in Jerome, Room 201 in the Jerome County Courthouse. Office hours are 8:30 to 4:30 Monday through Wednesday.

With a Hunting Passport in his pocket, a .410 shotgun in the crook of his arm (last year’s Christmas gift), and mom and dad by his side, 8-year-old Wyatt Creson stalked through the woods this fall and scoured tree branches in search of one of Idaho’s more diminutive game animals: the American red squirrel. For the Creson family, this relatively new opportunity was the perfect way to introduce Wyatt to hunting. “We were really looking for opportunities that were available for a kid that young, where he might have a little success,” said Jaime Creson, Wyatt’s mom. “We learned that red squirrels recently became a game animal, and decided that might be a good place to start.” Red squirrels are native to Idaho, became a game animal in the state in 2018, and are a game species in many neighboring states. They are abundant in the state and can be found all over its forests, providing an opportunity for hunting that people may overlook. Fall is one of the best times to hunt them because they are typically active throughout the day as they work to stockpile food for the winter. That was convenient for the Cresons, who are avid big game hunters, and meant that Wyatt’s squirrel hunting would dovetail nicely with the family’s annual deer hunting trip. In the mornings, Wyatt went hiking with his parents as they worked to fill their deer tags. At around midday, the Cresons returned to camp to pick up Wyatt’s shotgun before heading back out. With most deer hunters back in camp for the day, the Cresons had the woods largely to themselves. “We really enjoyed being out alone with Wyatt and having this opportunity available for him,” Jamie Creson said. All told, Wyatt harvested three squirrels under his parents’ guidance, learning the same skills he will need to be a successful big game hunter when he is old enough — observation, silent stalking, handling and shooting a firearm, and marksmanship — with an emphasis on safety and ethics. He also learned how to field dress the animals... continued on page 4.....

Cup of Tee
© In the State of Idaho if one requests an ambulance, everything is done to make that request. It may involve rural help, multiple agencies, or even Life Flight. A few weeks ago I felt bad for not calling an ambulance when I guess I was being summoned. It was about 11:30 p.m. and I was driving home after sacking some potatoes in my refrigerated trailer. I was passing by one of the rural schools in Emmett Idaho’s country side. My peripheral vision caught something coming out of the dark on the right side of my pickup. I swerved in order to avoid an accident. Luck didn’t have it... we had an accident. A deer ran into my right fender and door. About 1/4 of a block later I was able to stop and get turned around at a crossroad. The deer was shaking on the ground. I drove past the deer into the school’s entrance. I had decided I should take care of the deer in some shape or form. I parked my pickup and got out with a flashlight in my hand, leaving the pickup door open. I was standing next to the driver’s side of the pickup bed when the deer got up (still a 1/4 block away). He shook a little and was limping with his left rear leg. In a few moments, the deer ran right to my pickup bed, 3 1/2 feet away from me. By the 1/2 inch horn nubs it was growing, I could see he was buck (male deer). The deer stood there looking at me. I didn’t know if I should grab

him or not (deer can kick the “dickens” out of you). I bent forward to reach him. I was 6 inches short of reaching him when a car came by and slowed down to see what they thought was me petting a deer. Maybe they thought I was asking for ID. As the car drove away, a dodge pickup with a Cummins diesel motor drove by. The deer spooked and bolted around me trying to climb inside the pickup cab. I had to grab him out of my pickup! How would I explain to authorities that a deer tore up the inside of my pickup by kicking everything in sight? If you have ever had a scared cat in your vehicle, you know what I mean about tearing things up. I didn’t need a deer to do the same. I got the deer turned away from the cab and pointed him towards a corn field south of me. He managed to go without limping, but obviously, the deer was trying to get me to call or be an ambulance.... “Hello 911. I have a deer requesting an ambulance....” This is my “Cup of Tee” with the unusual “Human in the headlights look!”
...Hunting Red Squirrel continued
which was important to his parents. “Part of the reason we chose for Wyatt to hunt red squirrel is because we knew we could eat them,” Jaime said, noting that larger tree squirrels, like eastern fox and gray squirrels, are popular table fare in parts of the eastern United States. “In our family, we eat everything we harvest, and we weren’t interested in something we weren’t going to eat.” When the Cresons got back to deer camp and cooked the squirrels for dinner that evening, they were pleasantly surprised by what they tasted. “We just put it in the dutch oven and fried it up, and the meat was very good, with an almost sweet taste,” Jaime said. “With it tasting so yummy, I think it’s a really great opportunity for kids to eat a little bit of what they harvested, and to get excited about putting food on the table.” For new hunters, or anyone interested in trying out an overlooked (and tasty) small game species, red squirrel season runs from Aug. 30 through March 31. For more information on this opportunity, refer to the Red Squirrel Seasons & Rules booklet on Fish and Game’s website.

allows Ski Idaho to do important work like marketing our fantastic resorts to potential visitors and offering our acclaimed Idaho Peak Season Passport.” Visit your local DMV or www.accessidaho.org/secure/itd/personalized/plates.html online to order Ski Idaho plates for your vehicles. Founded in 1982, the Idaho Ski Areas Association, a.k.a. Ski Idaho, is a nonprofit association representing 18 family friendly alpine ski resorts. Boasting 28,000 vertical feet of terrain spanning more than 20,000 acres, Idaho is the birthplace of lift-assisted skiing, home to America’s first destination ski resort, and often considered the soul of skiing. Ski Idaho resorts offer trails and backcountry for skiers and snowboarders of all ages and skill levels, breathtaking views, hundreds of inches of fresh powder, and short lift lines. More than half also serve up lift-accessed gravity mountain biking and other summer adventures. Visit skiidaho.us for more details. -- -- --
Why 5th and 6th Graders?
The Idaho Peak Season Passport from Ski Idaho targets 5th and 6th graders because a lot of them don’t know how to ski or ride yet and nationwide ski resorts have found that kids in those grades are at an age where they can learn quickly and enjoy the sports of skiing and snowboarding. In addition, keeping children active in winter can be challenging, plus 5th and 6th graders are at a crucial age in their development where they are choosing healthy lifestyle activities -- including lifelong sports like skiing and snowboarding -- over more sedentary activities. Plus, a lot of middle schools and high schools offer after-school ski programs or have ski teams or ski clubs, so 5th and 6th grade is a great time to prepare kids for that. It’s also a good time to reengage former skiers and snowboarders. Their kids are old enough the whole family can enjoy skiing and riding together.
